I emailed DailyFX some time ago about getting other pages on their site in a printable form as is available with their news page, and I have never got a reply to that email not even a F off one. I was impressed.

The default setting for Market Range is zero. By keeping this setting, you are stating that if the price you click on is not available, you don't want to get filled;

how about order type MARKET RANGE then [1] == if the setting is 1 , does it mean +/- 1 pip , which ever side is DISADVANTAGE to the users



-- I also try out their new OCO function, it is quite good

only 1 of the bunch of the OCO order is executed


====

I use it in early euro hours, when the market is slow

if I use OCO, then I limit my risk to 1 TRANSACTION, rather than few LIMIT order transaction


---

another technical question -- probably depend on INDICATOR used


is how to set ENTRY ORDER,

by statistics, it is still most likely to fill in


while not OVER-THE-TOP , that it never been filled or if it filled, the trend already show reversal


will it be 2 to 5 pip-- BACK (i.e. advantage to us)

---- sorry, I could illustrate the question with dig -- easier to be understood that way -- on request

===

the core of all the Q

how to use pending ENTRY ORDER, OCO -- and double click mode (market range -- 2 ) to be the best SCENARIO to us


I am interested in all the slower moving cross-currency

the top profit (using 5 min TF on MT4), I am thinking 8 pip, 12 pip , max 18 pip == what do you think I should set top profit limit to be ?? (OVER 25 PIP, I think it is too greedy, better quick in , quick out, with certainty)

--

another idea of mine is to use LIMIT ENTRY ORDER -- to protect LOSS -- i.e. hedge

say , set limit order , 40 pip backward, when it hit, we lock our loss of both (buy and sell of 1 currency pair) to be 40 pip

-- but I am bad in closing and hedge, not sure WHETHER I should close instead

thanks for advice

may I ask fxcm micro too -- 1K is the min trading lot



is it easy to withdraw money (it seems to be based in UK, but my fxcm normal account is not in UK, not sure they will get me some excuse, if I want to withdraw money) -- and their email response for micro related enquiry is so bad



-- this is their email reply after 1 week --
Thank you for the email. Please note that your account is with FXCM UK at this time.



All withdrawals will be made via wire.





You can fund your account using either credit/debit or wire transfer.



For more information, click here for our Deposit FAQs and click here for our Withdrawal FAQs.

--- those FAQ are links -- http://forexforums.dailyfx.com/new-a...awal-faqs.html


more or less, my understanding will be

after those wire in / wire out fees, I will have nothing

i.e. fxcm MICRO account -- is just a play account !

...
If you set market range = 1, the order will fill at the best price in the range. This does not mean it will automatically slip you to a worse price. The order will fill at the best price for you in the range you specify.

The order will always try to fill at the price you clicked on first, even if you set a range of +/-1.

I'm not sure about your second question, could you illustrate it with dig?

For the core of your question, the market range feature is only available on the market order option. On entry orders, it will either be created as a stop entry order or a limit entry order. Stop entries are filled as At Best orders, so there could be slippage. There is not a way to prevent this. The Limit Entry Orders will always fill at your price or better.

I've seen many traders go for small amounts of profit on each trade, such as 3 pip, 12 pip, or 18 pip. What you need to watch out for are large losses because they will wipe out your small profits very quickly. Have you thought about your stop loss or at what level you will exit the trade if it goes against you?

Yes, 1k is the minimum trading lot size for FXCM Micro.

Withdrawing money from an FXCM Micro through our UK entity is an easy process. Here is the website you will go to to request the wire transfer https://www.myfxcm.com/fxma/?plugin=0&ib=FXCMUKMICRO . That webpage is specifically for FXCM UK Micro accounts. You can withdraw any amount of money at any time.

The micro account is a good way to test your trading with live money on a small scale. Once your account reaches $5,000 I would recommend converting to the standard 10k account so that you can speak with us by live chat or phone. There is more support for standard 10k accounts.
